Former Indianapolis Colts released veteran cornerback Vontae Davis earlier this week after he opted to undergo surgery on his groin, which will keep him out for an extensive amount of time. Yet, it seems there are a few teams interested in his services as the playoffs approach.

Davis has been battling a groin injury since the preseason and it eventually got to the point in which he elected to undergo surgery. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Davis is drawing interest from some teams that have an eye on the playoffs.

Even though Vontae Davis will undergo groin surgery that it is expected to sideline him six to eight weeks, a handful of teams, including two involved in the playoff chase, already have reached out and expressed interest in signing the former Indianapolis Colts cornerback with the hope he can contribute in the playoffs, a source told ESPN.

Davis cleared waivers Friday, which isn’t a surprise given that he will likely miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery. It isn’t yet clear if he would be able to bounce back quickly enough after surgery to help a team entering the playoffs but there is reportedly some interest in the two-time Pro Bowler.

Davis suffered a groin injury during the preseason and came back in Week 4. However, it was apparent that he wasn’t his normal self when he returned and it was revealed that he was still bothered by a lingering groin issue.

The Colts have since parted ways with Davis and while the surgery will keep him out for a while, there reportedly is some interest in the 29-year-old.
